Rope Flow, Movement & Nature Connection: Carlton Gardens EcoFitness

About

Join us each Saturday in Carlton Gardens for an 80-minute, barefoot-friendly session in the heart of the city. We begin with grounding, gratitude, calm breathing, and nature connection, followed by a gentle warm-up.

We then explore a rich variety of movement practices that informed and inspired my PhD on human rewilding through movement. We'll explore:

• crawling patterns, balance, proprioception, leaping, landing, transitions, rolling, lifting and carrying, barefoot running, and more (La Méthode Naturelle and wild parcours)
• rope flow (WeckMethod) and animal flow (Mike Fitch)
• spinal articulation and creative play (Fighting Monkey)
• ancestral movement (Simon Thakur)
• forest therapy (ANFT)
• nature connection practices (NBLT)

Beginners are welcome, with progressions available for those who need or want them.

Classes are a wonderful way to move and feel nourished by the environment.

All ages, all levels. We're intergenerational, inclusive, and interspecies! The birds, worms, and trees are our partners in class.

What to bring:

• water,
• comfortable clothes you can move in,
• a hat or layers for the weather,
• a yoga mat or towel if you have grass allergies,
• Flow Ropes are provided for your first class. After that, please bring your own. You can add a Flow Rope to your booking ($30, or $20 with a 5-class pass), and we'll have it ready for you at class.

Tickets:

• Your first class is free.
• Returning participants: $25 per class, or $20 when you bring a friend (your friend's first class is free).
